| Pros | Drag and drop gallery builder that needs no code; Shortcode and block placement on any page; Galleries are stored as their own editable post type | Many modules in one plugin, each switched on separately; Brute-force protection and an image CDN without extra services; Contact form with Akismet spam checks and entries kept in admin |
| Cons | Albums, video galleries and watermarking need the Pro version; Onboarding can pass an email address to the vendor's mailing list | Needs a WordPress.com connection to work fully; Usage tracking runs once the site is connected, with no separate toggle found; Paid plans gate some features, such as multi-step forms |
